Suicide Squad #8

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Suicide Squad #8 from June 2012 drops readers into the middle of pure chaos — Harley Quinn stands center stage, grinning wide with a gun in hand, flanked by a snarling feral figure and a purple-armored combatant raising blades, while two more squad members clash in the foreground against a backdrop of fire and blood-red splatter. Ken Lashley's cover crackles with kinetic energy, capturing the Squad's anything-goes mayhem in vivid, visceral detail. Writer Adam Glass and artist Federico Dallocchio bring "Aftermath" to life in what promises to be a suitably wild chapter for this team of dangerous misfits.
